Becoming a certified Yasodhara Yoga teacher starts with the Yoga Development Course (YDC), a three-month residential program at Yasodhara Ashram. The YDC is designed to give students an in-depth introduction to the major branches of yoga and a foundation in personal and spiritual development.

In the teacher certificate programs, students go in-depth in their own work and develop their teaching skills. The first step is Hatha Yoga teacher certification. This can be followed by Hidden Language Hatha Yoga and Kundalini & Dream Yoga certification. The prerequisite for these certification courses is the completion of 30 book reports required post-YDC.

Yasodhara Ashram’s teacher certification programs are registered with Private Career Training Institutions Agency of British Columbia.
